Its Saturday and I called to confirm the files again for the boards with the board house (I want to be CERTAIN they place the right parts in the right places)
So that will mean we can start moving Monday morning at 10am EST.

I will post a follow up of pictures when all parts have shipped from me to them. From there we can track the assembly process in the forums rather than ask me for updates.

Again,.. very sorry for my absence. Life came apart for a few weeks,... But I am back here now.

To avoid this in the future: How many of you guys have my phone number???? We may need to spread that around to keep even further communication.

I've been dreading to post this update for a few days,.... Waiting on confirmation from the manufacturer with an answer....

It's bad news,... No reason to sugar coat it.

The boards that were printed last year,... Are all junk.
They all have to be re-made.
There is a part which is not critital to the board operation per say, but effects ROF and power loss over a 2 hour period.

What that means (for me): I am having all the 100 boards remade
What that means (for you): you have yet another delay
What that means (for everyone): you will get what you paid for 100%

In the next 20 days this won't be an issue as they are turning the Gerber files now to have the boards re-made.

Immediately after that, assembly begins.

I wasn't sure if posting this would be to anyone's benefit. As it really isn't.

But I assumed you would want to know what was going on.

The details on who screwed up the boards is still being looked into,... Which is a money thing on my end. But I have already paid for the boards to be re-made in full so there is no delay on the assembly any more.

I apologize for the bad news. I wish there was something positive to say about it.
